Pakistan grabbed an excellent win over Cup holders India on Thursday but were knocked out of the ICC Under-19s World Cup due to the West Indies' win against Sri Lanka.

After 18 months without playing cricket against each other - due to the current tensions between the two countries - the two sides renewed rivalry for the first time.

India went into the game in supreme form after beating Sri Lanka and the West Indies with ease, but failed to hold their nerve against their arch rivals and lost by two wickets.

Pakistan missed out on a bonus point and the West Indies' 62-run mauling of Sri Lanka earned the Caribbean youngsters a spot in the semi-finals as Gus Logie's team were the victors when the two sides met earlier this week.

India could only muster 181 from their 50 overs with Pakistani fast bowler Junaid Zia particularly impressive with his control and pace.

Deepak Chougule hit 47 but late innings collapse, that saw the final five wickets fall for just 39 runs, ultimately cost India the match.

India reduced Pakistan to 10-2 but Salman Butt played a captain's innings to rescue his side.
